Hello Reader(s)!
I do hope that this festive time of year finds you celebrating something worth celebrating, regardless of your personal belief system. For those in the Northern hemisphere, I hope you have found some place warm during these cold, long nights. For those in the South, please remember to wear sunblock and not get too burnt.
After a very nice Christmas of drinking and eating in Newcastle, I'm back in the great gravity well that is London and its surrounds, facing the last few days of the year 2011 - a year which I am very sad to wave farewell and bid adieu to.
It has, all tolled and tallied, been a very fine year. Along with my many accomplishments of travel and personal growth, I have given life to something I had not expected. This blog; a repository for my photos and thoughts on my travels; a memoir that I hope to pore over in the years to come; a journal to inform my mother of my various movements has unexpectedly been read and enjoyed by a random handful of strangers on the internet.
To those lovely few who have read and enjoyed my words, I humbly thank you from the bottom of my heart, as it is you that have inspired me to keep writing and sharing and improving. I hope that you will bear with me as I plod along with stories of my continued adventures, as I hope there will be at least another 40 years of them to come.
I'd also like to especially thank my tireless photographer and travel companion, Kristen, who takes the majority of photographs which I then play around with and pass off as my own. She now has a brand new, second hand DSLR camera to play around with, so I'm hoping the quality of shots should improve with time and practice.
In the new year, I resolve to also improve in my writing and photo processing skills and even put together a few more videos of my travels. I will also try to increase the frequency of my updates as I'm still working through my Prague trip at the moment.
I'll leave it there, but please remember, your suggestions and comments are always welcome and can only help me in my continual quest for improvement.
